About Shale

Experience: 10 yrs

With 10 years of experience in childcare, including eight years of paid work, I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children of all ages. At 26, I have had the privilege of working with infants, toddlers, school-aged kids, and teenagers, tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs. Additionally, I have experience with children with special needs, ensuring individualized care and support. As a student from South Africa, my work with children, particularly babies, has inspired me to pursue a career as a neonatal nurse. My passion for nurturing young minds and fostering their development is at the core of my caregiving philosophy. I am committed to promoting a positive and stimulating atmosphere where children can thrive. I strive to be a reliable and supportive presence in every child's life. I also prioritize safety by constantly refreshing my CPR and first aid skills.

Excellent nanny and caregiver. She was reliable, punctual, caring, and absolutely wonderful with our toddler. She created a warm, safe, positive, and engaging environment where our child felt comfortable and happy. She is very kind, energetic, patient, and always interacted with our toddler with genuine care and affection. We truly appreciated her professionalism, strong communication, and dependable nature. She always kept our toddler engaged with fun and educational activities and brought such positive energy into our home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our child was in such trustworthy and capable hands. We are very thankful for everything she has done for our family and highly recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver.
